Best suited to
Retail, hospitality, workplaces, showrooms and reception spaces.
Microcement / Commercial
Commercial
microcement.
A low-build, seamless finish bringing material continuity to carefully designed customer-facing spaces.
The right system
Specify the finish for real customer-facing use.
Commercial microcement creates a continuous visual language across selected floors, walls and counters in retail, hospitality and workplace interiors. It is a decorative system whose protective layers need to suit the anticipated use.
Plan entrances, furniture movement, cleaning products, spill exposure, wet zones and repair access. In busy areas, compare lifecycle care with polished screed or concrete before committing to a material.
Primary outcome
A tactile continuous finish with a crafted, naturally varied appearance.
Designed for
design-led commercial interiors.
Technical overview
What commercial microcement installation means in practice.
Commercial microcement installation combines substrate preparation, reinforced base layers, decorative coats and a compatible protective sealer. The full build-up—not just the final colour—determines performance.
Choose it when
boutiques, hospitality, receptions and workplaces where tactile finish and low build-up are priorities.
Check before specifying
usage intensity, furniture movement, wet areas, interfaces, programme, curing time and maintenance responsibility.
Finish expectations
Microcement is hand applied, so subtle trowel movement is intrinsic. Agree colour, texture and sealer sheen using a representative sample.
Cleaning + maintenance
Use approved pH-neutral products, felt protection beneath movable furniture and rapid spill removal. Avoid abrasive pads or aggressive descalers unless approved.
Use polished screed or polished concrete where high traffic and large uninterrupted floorplates dominate the brief.
Illustrative system image; agree the actual finish by sample.Specification framework
Decisions to fix before tender.
01Substrate
Confirm soundness, movement, moisture and compatibility with the complete layered system.
02Detailing
Resolve corners, joints, penetrations, thresholds and interfaces before application.
03Finish
Approve colour, trowel texture and sealer sheen using a representative sample.
04Care
Define traffic, wet use, cleaning products, furniture protection and sealer maintenance.
Delivery method
Surveyed, sampled and delivered in-house.
Site survey + substrate review
Condition, flatness, contamination, repairs, access and programme constraints are recorded.
Finish specification + sample
Appearance, performance and realistic slab variation are agreed before full installation.
Controlled installation
Our specialist team manages preparation, finishing, protection and handover.
Specification questions
Questions to settle early.
Is microcement suitable for heavy commercial traffic?
Suitability depends on the full system and use. High traffic, dragging furniture and harsh cleaning require specific assessment and maintenance planning.
Is microcement waterproof?
A decorative coat alone is not waterproofing. Wet areas require a compatible system and substrate detail designed for that use.
Will every area look identical?
No. Hand application creates subtle variation; sample approval should establish the intended range of movement and tone.
